With all of the focus on Sunday evening's preseason matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers, Jameis Winston looked good. The Saints starting quarterback reminded NFL fans what he is capable of on a weekly basis.

It has been a decade since Winston won the Heisman Trophy for the Florida State Seminoles, and his professional career has been an interesting saga. Winston's story got a little more intriguing on Sunday when we saw him representing New Balance before the game.

Winston has been a Nike athlete since his days in Tallahassee, often seen wearing Nike basketball shoes casually and player-exclusive Air Jordan cleats on the field. It is important to note that Winston was back in a pair of white and black Nike cleats during the game.

FanNation Kicks does not know the status or inner workings of Winston's sneaker deal or if he is still officially with the brand. However, we can point you in the right direction to find the stylish "dad shoes" Winston wore before Sunday's victory.

Before Sunday's preseason game, Winston wore the New Balance 1906R in the "Metallic silver with metallic gold" colorway. However, since Winston has embraced the shoe, we are ready to dub this the "Saints" colorway.

Saints fans can purchase the shoes for $155 on the New Balance website. Inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 1906R features a sleek and stylish synthetic upper. Meanwhile, the ABZORB midsole and Stability Web outsole make for an ultra-comfortable ride.
